Demolition of old pavilion at Beausejour Playing Field commences 4 June

Grenada’s Ministry of Youth and Sports has formally announced plans to launch the demolition of the outdated pavilion at Beausejour Playing Field, with work set to commence on Thursday, June 4, 2026. The scheduled demolition comes after a series of inclusive consultations with residents from Happy Hill, Beausejour, Brizan and all surrounding nearby communities, marking a community-centered approach to local infrastructure improvement.

As a core component of broader planned upgrades to the area’s sporting and recreational infrastructure, all public and private activities at the Beausejour Playing Field facility will be put on hold indefinitely starting ahead of the demolition, with no set timeline for resumption released at this stage. Throughout the demolition and subsequent construction phase, the ministry has issued a formal call for local residents to adhere strictly to posted safety protocols, a measure designed to protect both community members and the construction crews working on the site.

The public consultation hosted in Beausejour gave local stakeholders and everyday residents a platform to voice their perspectives, questions, and concerns about the project. According to the ministry, the overwhelming majority of participating community members expressed clear support for the improvement initiative, aligning with longstanding calls for better recreational amenities in the area.

The Ministry of Youth and Sports has reaffirmed its ongoing commitment to upgrading the region’s public recreational infrastructure, with the overarching goal of creating a modern, accessible space that better meets the growing sporting and leisure needs of local residents of all age groups. Officials have also urged community members to keep up to date with project developments via official government channels, and to continue following all safety guidance throughout the duration of the work.
